History & Foundation

Eldoria was founded approximately 800 years ago by a coalition of human clans fleeing endless war.

Under the leadership of Aldarion the Unifier — a legendary warrior and diplomat — the clans settled in fertile lands surrounding an ancient fortress said to be blessed by Elyonel, the Firstborn God.

The capital, Eldoria Prime, grew around this fortress and became a symbol of unity, faith, and wisdom. Eldoria’s rise was marked by peaceful alliances and fierce defense — notably during the Battle of Green Iron, where the kingdom repelled a full-scale orc invasion.
